The group consists of students and community members from various villages and tribes and performs Athabascan songs and dances. The dance group is open to all who wish to learn and share new songs and ideas.

The Circumpolar Music Series is a new initiative led by the UAF Department of Music beginning in 2022. CMS annually showcases artists, scholars, and musicians who identify with the circumpolar region of the world. Through performances, lectures, and hands-on activities, distinct features of northern art and music will be shared and explored. The UAF Department of Music is grateful to its generous benefactor, Catherine Madsen for her support of the Circumpolar Music Series.

This event is brought to you by the UAF Department of Music and the Circumpolar Music Series. Please contact Sean Dowgray, Circumpolar Music Series Faculty Organizer with any questions about the event at sdowgray@alaska.edu
